King of the Kolo

"King of the Kolo" is all about celebrating and promoting beautiful Serbian traditional folk circle dances known as the 'Kolo'. Zoran Rakočević has spent a lifetime trying to master the finer details of the Serbian Kolo and has been very fortunate to have spent quality time with great Serbian artists such as Branimir Đokić, Dragan Aleksandrić, Novica Negovanović and many others who have further facilitated his ongoing learning of Serbian folk music. The Kolo is played in Serbia and throughout the world in its various forms and it celebrates life through music and dance. Zoran Rakočević developed an appreciation for the Kolo when he first started to learn how to dance to the Kolo and later on when he played the accordion for a local folkoric group Branko Radičević in Geelong, Australia. This dancer's intuition, combined with many years of accordion performance on stage is one of the reasons his recordings of the Serbian Kolo are so appealing to listeners and dancers the world over.
